Publication number: 20240046367Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating an indication of whether a vehicle crash has occurred is presented. It may be determined whether data output by a base sensor(s) of a mobile computing device indicates that a vehicle crash condition has occurred. An additional sensor(s) of the mobile computing device may begin outputting additional sensor data when the data output by the base sensor(s) indicates that the vehicle crash condition has occurred. The additional sensor(s) may be caused to output the additional sensor data for an amount of time after the additional sensor(s) begins outputting the additional sensor data. An indication of whether a crash of a vehicle has occurred may be generated based on the additional sensor data output by the additional sensor(s) for the amount of time after the additional sensor(s) begins outputting the additional sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Eric Bellas, Shawn M.

Publication number: 20230109452Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting vehicle crashes is presented. The method may include detecting, at a first mobile computing device a condition corresponding to a potential crash of a vehicle. The method may also include operating a beacon receive mode in response to detecting the potential crash condition, and receiving data from a second mobile computing device operating in a beacon transmit mode, the data indicating that the second mobile computing device detected an actual crash condition of the vehicle. The method may further include confirming, based on the potential crash condition and the data received from the second mobile computing device, that the potential crash is an actual crash.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2022Publication date: April 6, 2023Inventors: Eric Bellas, Shawn M.

Patent number: 11069162Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating vehicle crash data is presented. The method may include determining whether sensor data output of a sensor of a mobile computing device within a vehicle indicates that a crash of a vehicle has occurred. The method may further include displaying a notification prompting a user of the mobile computing device to confirm that the crash of the vehicle has occurred and receiving an indication from the user that the crash of the vehicle has occurred. Still further, the method may include transmitting the sensor data output to a remote computing device and receiving a communication from the remote computing device, wherein the communication prompts the user to take a post-crash action.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: STATE FARM MUTUAL AUTOMOBILE INSURANCE COMPANYInventors: Eric Bellas, Shawn M.
